📚 What is CDA/CCDA?

 


The Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) is a core standard of HL7 V3 used for exchanging clinical documents between healthcare systems. Consolidated CDA (CCDA) builds on CDA by providing a library of templates that ensure consistency in health information exchange.

Our CDA/CCDA Training Course helps you gain hands-on understanding of document modeling, HL7 RIM, data types, and CCDA implementation. Whether you’re a healthcare integration specialist, HL7 developer, or IT professional, this course gives you the skills to confidently work with CDA documents and improve system interoperability.

What You Will Learn (Course Curriculum)

📘 CDA/CCDA Training Course Outline

Chapter 1: Introduction to RIM (Reference Information Model)

  • Understand the core components of HL7 V3’s foundational model: Entities, Roles, Participations, and Acts.

  • Learn how RIM shapes the structure of clinical documents.

  • Real-world scenarios and revision exercises to reinforce RIM concepts.

Chapter 2: HL7 V3/CDA Data Types

  • Deep dive into HL7 V3 data types such as II (Instance Identifier), TS (Timestamp), CD (Coded Data), and more.

  • Learn how data types are applied within CDA documents to represent clinical information.

  • Practice exercises and visual examples for better retention.

Chapter 3: Introduction to CDA

  • Understand the purpose and architecture of CDA.

  • Explore the relationship between CDA and HL7 V3.

  • Learn how CDA supports interoperability and legal documentation in healthcare.

Chapter 4: CDA Header, Body, and Entries

  • Detailed breakdown of the CDA structure:

    • Header (metadata, patient, author, etc.)

    • Body (structured or unstructured clinical content)

    • Entries (clinical statements based on RIM)

  • Practical examples of building valid CDA documents.

Chapter 5: Introduction to CCDA

  • Overview of Consolidated CDA (CCDA)

  • Key templates and use cases (e.g., Continuity of Care Document, Discharge Summary)

  • Understanding interoperability requirements under US healthcare regulations (e.g., MU Stage 2, ONC).
